The Hull Project.

The Hull project is based at the HDAA Brough fishing complex where a specifically designed training pond is used to make sure that all young people catch different species of freshwater fish and that all the Modules of GHOF can be delivered effectively.

As well as the GHOF Module system taster days and open days are delivered throughout the year. So whatever your age or angling ability you can come and have an introduction to angling

Fishing in Schools GHOF Humberside - February 2008

David Lister School in Hull was the first to take up the GHOF Humberside Angling in Schools Programme. The 10 week block of sessions encompasses the GHOF module system as well as parts of the NFA’s OCN in Angling and the Environment and is a pre-requisite for the OCN course, giving all participants half a point to the ASDAN qualification.

With four classroom sessions the David Lister clan were keen to get on the bank even in the horrendous weather that we are currently experiencing.

The group made their way to the half frozen Brough Complex in Hull to find the fishing extremely hard. However Nicholas Appleby one of the groups mega keen anglers’ managed to catch a couple of fine jack pike and keep morale high in arguably some of this winters coldest weather. Luckily we had Angling writer and retired teacher Brian Skoyles on hand to give a fine demonstration on handling Pike.

Miss Lewis had the following to say after the session:

"Roman, I just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday. The kids really enjoyed it and i am so pleased that some of them caught some decent fish! Thanks again for all of your hard work."
Regards Jo

The group still has the last half of the course to complete and can’t wait for the next session. Pickering High School has also followed suit and booked a 10 week slot, and with the weather improving who knows what we may catch!
